Laziness.

I took the boys to school this morning and came back home and slept. And slept. And slept some more. I was awake but still laying around in bed from about 11:45am onwards, and the phone rang just after noon or so. It was Heather - a nice surprise, since I'm normally working then and wouldn't get to chat. :-)

Now I need to get in gear. I need a shower, and then I'll reward myself with some lunch (I'm starving, you see, but if I eat first, I probably won't get my shower done until much later.) I've got southwest chicken, broccoli 'n cheese, and peaches leftover from last night's dinner, and I'm thinking that I might then go out and treat myself to some yummy fries from Charley's on base. Then I'm heading over to the school, where the boys are having their Flag Day parade at 2pm.

They were both so excited for this day, and they were appropriately dressed in their red-white-and-blue attire before I even woke up this morning. I'm not sure exactly what the parade will entail, but I think I'll take my camera along just in case.

But first - shower!

Postcards from Iraq.

Well... kinda. In a way, I guess.

Philip has sent me some pictures, and he doesn't mind if I share. :-)


A Shift. (He's second from the right, in case you weren't sure.)

( Eight more. )

Philip was quick to explain to me on the phone that none of the guys were firing too seriously, and you can tell by checking out their stances. They were messing around, done with the "real" firing stuff already.

Um, hi? I'd rather not be around extra bullets just for fun, mmkay? Thanks.
